• Apply early. With the deadline this close, don't wait for the last hour. Portals get slow when everyone rushes at once.
• Double-check your details. A wrong name, ID number or phone number can cause problems later.
• Prepare for the exam. Revise your core science subjects, especially Biology and Chemistry, and get comfortable answering questions on a computer.
• Use official channels only. Apply through the MKU portal and verify information with the university directly.
